Customer Reviews of Homedics PA-5H Therapist Select Hand Held Percussion Massager (Includes Heat and 2 Attachments)
Customer Review: Both prior reviews are true
Summary: 3 Stars
As a slim woman, I find this heavy, awkward and hard on the bones. That being said, it also immediately eliminated a tight shoulder that has been nagging me for a few days, requiring periodic doses of NSAIDs. Unless someone has a better, comparably priced, massager out there, I'd rather struggle with this periodically than take drugs or pay for massages.
While it won't help with the heavy and awkward, perhaps the solution for someone thin is to use it while wearing a thick fleece or light insulated jacket - in essence, giving your poor ole bones some padding.
I can't imagine who could use this on high on their back unless they were VERY well padded!
Customer Review: Hand Held Massager
Summary: 3 Stars
For the price this machine does what I need it to do. Works very well for sore ankles and runs long enough with enough force to reduce the pain in my ankle. Let's hope the machine lasts for more than one year. All my past massagers have died within a year.Customer Review: Too slow
Summary: 3 Stars
This product does not vibrate as fast as reviewed. Its loud and clunky. It barely functions for what we use it for.Customer Review: It depends on what you're looking for
Summary: 2 Stars
The chord was very short and would not reach across the bed or the couch - very inconvenient. I also didn't find this massager to be powerful enough for me. I had a Homedics massager that I loved and it lasted more than 6 - 7 years. When it broke, I purchased this one. Maybe I was spoiled with the other one which had more power settings (I needed a stronger setting to get out the knots in my shoulders), a variety of massage options and the distance between the massage balls was adjustable (a nice option when massaging different areas of the body). This one just didn't compare.
If you need a basic lightweight massager that is affordable and don't mind a shorter chord, this one may work for you.
Customer Review: Too heavy
Summary: 2 Stars
Be prepared for a too heavy massager and an awkward self massage, at least for a woman. If you are slim I would not recommend it as it is rather vigorous on the bones.
